In the world of no return, holding the sun and the moon

Chapter 68: Douling Academy
the next morning.

Xiao Ming didn't sleep. He wasn't sleepy anyway. He would recover after some practice after the battle. However, Ling Luochen was forced to work overtime and was still staying in bed.

After Xiao Ming finished washing up, he found Ling Luochen still sleeping, so he activated his Moon Martial Spirit. A stream of icy mist penetrated into the quilt and immediately woke Ling Luochen up from the cold.

"Get up quickly, we still have a game later." Xiao Ming looked at Ling Luochen's confused eyes, leaned over and kissed her on the face, then pulled the confused Ling Luochen up from the bed.

After Ling Luochen finished washing up, Xiao Ming and Ling Luochen rushed to the conference room together. After everyone was together, Wang Yan once again talked about the strength and level of the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, and then led the Shrek people to the competition venue.

The competition at this time was different from the previous one. Before, if you lost, you had a second chance. Now, after entering the top 16, it was the knockout round. Losing meant you would be out of this competition. So everyone in Shrek was very alert.

In the team, only Ling Luochen was a little confused. She was completely stunned last night and has not yet fully recovered.

Xixi looked at Ling Luochen who looked like he had lost his soul, wondering if Ling Luochen had taken the opportunity to confess his love to Xiao Ming last night but was rejected by Xiao Ming. Xixi couldn't help but feel sad for her good friend. Competing with the senior sister of the inner courtyard for a man was doomed to fail. Give up, Xiao Ling.

As the competition heated up, the audience became more excited. The moment Shrek entered the arena, the crowd became restless. Whether it was Xiao Ming, who had a 100,000-year soul ring, or Ma Xiaotao, who was close to the soul saint, the audience felt incredible, but when they thought that both of them were from Shrek, it made sense.

"Sixteens advance to eight. The first match is between Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy and Dou Ling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. Players from both sides enter the waiting area to prepare for the game."

This time, there is no draw, but a direct team fight, individual fight, and the final 223 match. The three games are played in a best-of-three format, and as long as you win twice, you can advance to the quarterfinals.

Xiao Ming, Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, Xixi, Cai Tou and Bei Bei entered the waiting area together. Encouraged by Wang Yan, the seven of them filed onto the stage.

The captain of the Douling Academy, who looked to be about 20 years old, walked up to Dai Yuheng and held out his hand: "It's an honor to be able to compete with Shrek Academy."

Dai Yueheng immediately recognized the man opposite him: "Your name is Dugu Jian, right?"

While Dugu Jian was shocked, Dai Yueheng shook hands with him and continued, "I met you at the last Soul Master Competition."

Dugu Jian was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Oh, I think I've seen you before."

Because Ma Xiaotao did not participate in the last Soul Master Competition, she did not know Dugu Jian, so all the communication was done by Dai Yuheng.

"Both sides step back and prepare for the match." Seeing that the two wanted to continue chatting, the referee interrupted them and announced to prepare for the match.

Xiao Ming followed the team and walked backwards. His task today was to rush directly to the front row and throw a shield bomb at anyone he saw until he was taken away.

Xiao Ming walked and thought, according to Wang Yan's information, there are five soul kings in Douling Academy, and the one who just shook hands with Dai Yaoheng is their captain, whose martial soul is Zihuangzhu. Xiao Ming decided to choose him.

Seeing that both teams were in place, the referee gestured to the captains of both teams and shouted, "The game begins."

Douling Academy's vice-captains Qian Yuan and Chi Hengyu stood at the front. Both of them were soul kings. One of them had a Terrorclaw Bear spirit, which could be seen as a low-profile version of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the other had a Diamond Giant Shield, which was a defensive soul king. Now, what Xiao Ming had to do was to rush over and fight them. Anyway, his disguised fifth soul skill was a shield, which would explode and cause damage after being broken. Taking one person away was a profit, and taking two people away was a huge profit.

Xiao Ming's five soul rings rose up, and the second soul ring shone. A flaming shield appeared around Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming directly rushed half of the 200-meter arena. Behind him, Dai Yuheng and Ma Xiaotao followed, and they were also covered with a shield by Xiao Ming.

When Xiao Ming rushed in front of the Douling Team, a huge shield blocked Xiao Ming's advance. Xiao Ming grinned, then directly detonated the shield around his body. The second soul ring lit up, and he charged again.

A mental shock hit Xiao Ming directly on the head, but it had no effect on him. Instead, it caused a soul master of the Douling Team to be counterattacked.

The people of the Douling Team did not expect Xiao Ming to rush over and explode. Fortunately, the distance that Xiao Ming sprinted gave them some time to respond.

Qian Yuan, with the Terrorclaw Bear spirit, replaced Chi Hengyu in front of Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming smiled again, then detonated the shield on his body. Fortunately, the auxiliary soul master on the Dou Ling side increased the defense for Qian Yuan, otherwise the deputy captain might have to be temporarily killed like the King Kong Shield before.

The King Kong Shield, which had just been stunned by the explosion, also recovered and joined Qian Yuan to surround Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming detonated the shield again. At the same time, a sun rose from behind him. The scorching sunlight directly banned the two people below the Soul King of the Douling Team.

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng ran over under the sunlight, and while Chi Hengyu was confused by the sunlight, they quickly joined forces to eliminate him, and Beibei also rushed to the death squad.

Xiao Ming detonated the shield again. The shields on Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng and Xiao Ming exploded instantly. The explosion of the three shields together and the sun in the sky created an extremely high temperature.

As soon as a yellow shield rose up on Qian Yuan's body, it was shattered by the shock wave of the three shields. Qian Yuan was stunned for a moment. The invincible shield was actually broken by Xiao Ming? I bought a low-quality product.

Xiao Ming did not hide too much. The attacks of Soul Douluo could not compare with my noble Ultimate Fire. When Qian Yuan was confused, Dai Yuheng rushed out, knocked him away, and announced his elimination.

Now Xiao Ming has only one goal, but he has to pretend that his soul power is insufficient. After all, the information he gave to Riyue was at the level of an ordinary soul king. Have you ever seen a soul king who can use so many ten thousand year soul skills?

Xiao Ming raised his head and breathed slightly, as if he was calculating how many times his soul power could support him to open a shield. This gap gave the Dou Ling captain Dugu Jian an opportunity.

Xiao Ming was slightly stunned, and then was sent away by Dugu Jian. Although he had a chance to take down the opponent, he should just pretend. It was time for me to be eliminated.

The battle did not stop because of Xiao Ming's withdrawal. Ma Xiaotao's fifth soul ring lit up, and a one-meter-long fire phoenix attacked Dugu Jian directly.

Faced with such horrifically high temperatures, Dugu Jian had no way to resist. The two front-row players on their side were sent away by Xiao Ming, and they had no way to resist Ma Xiaotao's strongest single soul skill.

"Ding!"

A soul shield appeared around Dugu Jian. He Caitou immediately recognized the soul device and shouted to Ma Xiaotao and the other two: "It is an invincible shield that can block the attack of a three-second soul fighter."
